Peppers are indispensable as a seasoning for soups 

 and meats. The large varieties are mainly used for 

 this purpose and pickling. The mild, sweet varieties, 

 like Golden Dawn and Ruby King, are used for Man- 

 goes, while the small fruited sorts are the best for 

 sauces. Sow in hotbeds in March or April, or on a 

 warm, sheltered border in May, and, when the season 

 is favorable, transplant in rowjs 2 feet apart and 18 

 inches in row, in good, rich ground.
